Join us for the Centennial Film Festival each weekend in January and February of 2016, at 2:00 p.m., in the Homestead National Monument of America Education Center. The festival this year features popular movies either filmed at National Park Service sites across America or with homesteading themes. January 16 & 17 the film festival will showcase Far and Away, "an adventure where a young man leaves Ireland with his landlord's daughter after some trouble with her father. The couple dreams of owning their own land at the big give-away in Oklahoma." "This movie highlights a particular time period during the Homestead era –that of the famous Oklahoma land runs. We look forward to sharing this FREE film with all of you," stated Superintendent Mark Engler.
